Discover how CSPs are evolving toward more autonomous, AI-driven assurance
In this short analyst-led session, Charlotte Patrick shares insights from her recent research, published in partnership with STL Partners and Enghouse Networks: AI and Agents in Next-Generation Assurance – a report examining how AI, ML, and emerging agentic systems are reshaping assurance and what CSPs must build to progress toward self-healing networks.
Drawing from interviews with operators and vendors, Charlotte explains the maturity of current AI use cases in assurance, the early emergence of agentic systems, and the architectural groundwork CSPs need to support more autonomous operations.
This mini webinar offers a clear, practical overview for teams looking to understand how to move from today’s automations to tomorrow’s agentic architectures.
Key Takeaways
- The state of AI and ML adoption in assurance today — what’s working, and what remains a challenge
- Why prediction remains difficult and why data quality and rare-event detection continue to hold back maturity
- Where GenAI is showing early value, including copilots and content enrichment
- How agentic systems are emerging across resource and service assurance domains
- An introduction to the “agentic architecture” — the layers required to support multilevel autonomy
- Why federated data, knowledge models, and lifecycle management are foundational to future progress
- Practical guidance for CSPs on starting small, learning quickly, and building toward a long-term vision
Who Should Watch
- OSS, assurance, and network operations teams evaluating AI-driven enhancements
- CTO, strategy, and architecture leaders planning next steps toward autonomous operations
- Product and innovation teams exploring AI/ML in network processes
- CSP leaders driving service quality, automation, and operational evolution
